Since Brittle Paper was founded in 2010, it has brought you a steady stream of blogposts on African writing and literary culture.
These posts range from original fiction and poetry to controversial gossip pieces about literary spats among African writers. Our annual fan fiction erotica has offered you a fresh take on African storytelling, including our Nigerian church erotica series Holy Sex. We have also kept readers up to date on trends in African literary publishing through book reviews, interviews, curated listicles, and the media coverage of various book festivals.
On the 15th of December, we will close shop for 2015 and resume regular posting schedule on January 4th.
We’ve had so much fun writing all kinds of provocative things about African literature and pushing the boundary on how to talk about African literature.
Until we see again in 2016, enjoy these amazing throwbacks!
